KOKBILLS

Agreed... I'm not real big on taking a D-Lineman at #10 either...But I agree where Cox is concerned...I would take him over Barron any day...Brockers too... I don't want to get too wrapped up in need because I do understand how that can hurt you if you go need over talent...But I'm more of the mind that The Bills are trying to put the final pieces in place to make an extended Playoff run...They are trying to fill out a Roster here...They are trying to build a Team...And there will definitely be better options for that Team building at #10 besides Barron...And I think some Folks have already forgot about Searcy...The Bills also have 9 Picks...So Draft a Safety later (4th or 5th Rd.)...I simply don't see the logic in a #10 overall SS...I have visions of Whitner/Ngata dancing in my head...And that's not good at all...

I hear what you're saying...But I think this is a relatively common misconception about Barron going around...That misconception being that he is a lock to excel at Free or Strong Safety in the NFL...And I just don't see it that way...I don't think he's an NFL FS...Though I readily admit he's a very good SS prospect... Below are a couple Scouting Reports that I feel back up what I see in Barron when I watch him...Everyone agrees he's a good prospect...But I think if you put him back there at FS, especially early in his career, he's going to struggle...And even though I think it's stupid for The Bills to even think Safety at #10, I could maybe understand a little if it was a guy like Eric Berry who was REAL versatile...I don't think Barron is that type of player...But I guess we'll see in time...

Well...The reason I said "then some" is because IT'S NOT A NEED ON THIS TEAM!!! So I hope the Kid can help out a bit elsewhere... Seriously though...Of course if he turns out to be like Reed it would be OK...But I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Barron's career will be NOTHING like Reed's...And Barron is a SS only...I think IF Barron caps out he'll be more like Adrian Wilson...Barron IS limited a bit...Like I said before...Barron is a good prospect...But he's not an elite prospect...He's fast enough, but not REAL fast...He's a downhill player but like many SS's he has problems when he has to move and react side to side, or turning in coverage...He's a good, solid, SS prospect...The best one in this Draft and no doubt a Top 15 Prospect...But for this Team, at this time...Well...I'm obviously not on board...I'd rather have Kuechly, Gilmore, Glenn...heck even Kirkpatrick, over Barron for The Bills...But that's just me...Or is it? Barron is not an NFL Free Safety... Next...

Kuechly would start over Morrison at OLB...That much I'm pretty certain about...If you Draft Kuechly you start him at OLB with the hope that he will be the LB that stay on the field for all 3 Downs...He'll have to beat out Barnett for Dime situations...And that may take a bit...But I'm sure that would be the hope if you take him at #10... I agree...Urlacher is not a good comparison with Kuechly...They are different players... I still think the best comparison is Sean Lee...

BPA is not the right thing to do every time across the board...Easy example? There are Scouts that have Trent Richardson as the #1 Player overall in this Draft...Ahead of Luck, ahead of RG3...So should the Colts take Richardson? Of coarse not... But I'll play along anyway...IMHO there is no possible way Barron will be the BPA at #10...No way...And I REALLY mean that...Plus he's a SS...And like Luck vs. Richardson, you cannot disregard position, especially when it's not a definite area of need...If he is the top guy on The Bills Board at #10...which again I doubt...then The Bills need to Trade out of #10...It's that simple...

I'll tell you what... I'm uncertain exactly how pissed off I would be if the Bills took Barron...But my guess is...VERY... I know this much...IF they took Barron, and I still don't think they will, they better hope he's the next coming of Ed Reed then some...This is a Team with a fairly RECENT history of a failed Top 10 Strong Safety Draft Pick...I know that was not Nix regime, and I'm sure Buddy would tell you he pays no attention to all that...But he should...The Bills are FINE at Safety...FINE...George Wilson played real well at times last year...He had a couple real nice Games before he got hurt...Byrd is a solid, if not spectacular FS...They Drafted Searcy last Season and he seems to have promise...This is a Safety unit playing behind a Front 4 that got almost NO pressure...They are fine... I'm not saying Barron is not a good player...He is...He's clearly the top rated Safety in this Draft...No question...He's big, physical, instinctive, and fast enough (He's NOT a speed burner though)...A leader on that Crimson Tide D...He's a great Prospect...But not for The Bills, and especially not right now...It's a bad Football move when you are trying to build a TEAM that can win now...Barron is a Strong Safety in the NFL...I'm not in favor of Drafting almost any Safety (OK I'll give you Reed, Polamalu, and Ronnie freaking Lott) in the Top 10...Let alone a SS...But on a Team with Needs at LT, OLB, CB, and WR...Drafting a SS at #10 is a potential blunder that can have a long lasting effect...It really make no sense to me at all... And much of this could be that The Bills know there are SEVERAL Teams that want Barron...He's by far the top rated Safety, which is inflating his value just a bit IMHO...But if you're a Team like the Cowboys with a HUGE need at Safety, you don't really care about using a Top 15 pick on Barron...If some Team, like the Boys, Trades ahead of The Bills for Barron, that means somebody else slides through...And that's a good thing...At least in theory it is... I know this much...The first Round just got a lot more nerve-wracking for me with Barron's name now surfacing for The Bills...I really think I'll cry if they Pick that Kid...It would be a massive mistake IMHO...Not on the scale of Whitner...But almost...

Well...No one is saying Brady is going to be shaking in his shoes or anything like that...But that being said...I'm guessing Kuechly is going to be better than any other LB the Bills have tried in that capacity...Otherwise they're not going to take him at #10 overall... Seriously though...Like Kuechly could not help in this area? You think he would be worse than what we've seen to this point?

True my Friend...And I knew somebody would mention that... But he has turned into a VERY good NFL LB...An excellent cover LB...And obviously he would go higher if that Draft was done over again...Would he be Top 10? Well...Tyson Alualu went #10 in 2010...And we all know who went #9...So...I'll let everyone make their own decision there...

It is interesting seeing as though The highest Draft WR on the Bills Roster right now is the Journeyman Hagan who was a 3rd Round Pick...The highest Bills Draft Pick on the Roster is Easley...A 4th Round Pick...

I've been racking my brain trying to think who would be a useful comparison in the NFL to Kuechly...I'm thinking maybe Sean Lee in Dallas...He's a VERY good player overall...My friends who are Cowboys Fans love that Kid...Totally different Defensive scheme though...

Penn St? You mean Still? You know he's not considered a 1st Round Prospect any longer right? Plus, I would say the chances of The Bills Drafting a D-Lineman at #10 are just about slim and none...And slim done left town...But we'll see soon enough...

I like this Draft, but I think a CB in the 4th would be more likely...I would like to see either Kuechly, Glenn, or Gilmore in the 1st...Jeffery, or Randall in the 2nd...Then fill in the needs that remain (from LT, CB, OLB) with the 3rd and first 4th...

Another thing I'll add about Kuechly is the fact that LB is clearly a need Position for The Bills, but there has been almost no talk concerning him out of OBD (at least very little compared to some prospects)...And I'm thinking The Bills like that...Kuechley has visited, but there was not much made about that either...Lastly, something I just read on buffalobills.com struck me as interesting...Kuechly commented that he's been compared by some to Zach Thomas, who played (and played very well) for Wanny in Miami... Trying to connect some dots here...And just saying...

For what it's worth...Mike Lombardi reported last night that he's hearing (through his league sources I would presume) The Bills want to use #10 overall on Defense... I think there is depth at the WR position with speed and size...The other factor here is WR is not exactly a plug-and-play position...It usually takes some time regardless of how good the prospect is...Personally, as a pure WR, I don't see a big difference between a guy like Floyd, and a guy like Alshon Jeffery...In fact I like Jeffery better, but admittedly that's just me... Anyway...I no longer think Floyd is in the plans at #10...I think it's down to Kuechly, Gilmore, or Glenn...

Good Poll!!! I was wondering the other day what Folks thought about this exact topic... I don't like the new format much...I used to love it when it was just the weekend...But I would rather see a Fri, Sat, Sun if they want 3 days...Anyway...

I hear you...But I also think this is the one area (pass D) where Scouts believe Kuechly truly can be a difference maker...Especially in zone...If it's Nickel, Kuechly and Barnett...Dime, they battle it out...And Scott rotates in as a specialty player...Like I said before...I'm really just guessing...But nonetheless I hope it's an educated guess...

6 obvious one's - Luck, RG3, Kalil, Claiborne, Richardson, Blackmon... 4 others - Floyd, Kuechly, Glenn, Gilmore... Just my guess...

It's a tough question...I'm really unsure...I do know Mayock says that Kuechly is the best, and most instinctive, LB in coverage he has ever Scouted...So...I'm not sure there is any way to compare what Kuechly potentially brings...And it's not that he can't blitz and help out there...I think it's more like he was so good at covering he did not rush the passer much at BC...That's just my guess... The Bills have guys to rush the passer now...And it's a passers league...In the Bills Division the Patsies have Brady, Gronk, and Hernandez...The Jets have Keller who can be a handful...The Fish TE Fasano had 2 TD's vs The Bills last year...So...I'm not saying I think Kuechly will be, or should be, the pick at #10...But I think it's easy enough to make an argument for a great cover LB who is a tackling machine, and REAL fast...I can see it...That's all...

He'll Start at the OLB Position Morrison was going to play on base downs...Then he'll stay on the field in Nickle and probably even dime situations dropping in coverage...I don't see him rushing the passer much at all... It would be easier to move Kuechly outside than it would be to do the same with Shep IMHO...But I think Kuechly is the Bills best Cover LB from Day #1...And I'm not saying that means much considering...But still...

Sorry Bro!!! If it makes you feel any better I'd rather have Floyd, Gilmore, or Glenn...But I would not be surprised at all, or terribly bummed, if it was Kuechly...We'll see though...I'll throw in a prayer for ya...just because you're you Bro...

I can always put in a call to my Mom Bro...She has a direct line to the big-guy upstairs...She's one with the beads...Couldn't hurt right? Seriously though...I think Kuechly is a definite possibility...I think Mayock may have him going to The Bills at #10 in his final Mock...He hinted to that point last night on "Path To The Draft." Mayock said Kuechly is a nice fit for Wanny's Defensive scheme...Now, I know Kuechly is not a lights-out type player...But I think he's 100 times the player Poz was coming out, especially in coverage...Mayock says Kuechly is literally the best, and most instinctive, zone coverage LB he's EVER Scouted coming out...He said EVER! His tackle numbers are amazing...I know the concern is, like Poz, most of those tackles come 7 yards deep...But no matter how you look at it, he had 160 more tackles than Poz in College...That's like a whole Season of tackles more! Not only would Kuechly start at OLB ahead of Morrison, but he would stay on the field in Nickle...So that's a 3-down LB...I'm not saying I would not prefer another player at #10...I do worry that Kuechly is not physical enough, and that he's going to swallowed up...But I would not mind the pick either...It's just one of those picks that may not excite, but may fill a BIG need...I don't know...I don't think he's going to be the pick anyway...But I'm not against it if he is either...And I do think he's way better than Poz...

He'll be there Bro...So get ready to hold your breath...

The fact that 8 out of the 22 (the last 11 years) were 2nd Round Picks definitely surprises me...That's more than the 6 1st rounders in that span... I think it tells me that when you hear some Folks say Cordy Glenn is not an NFL LT, and they would not take him till the 2nd Round, there's a good chance they're wrong about how effective he'll be on the blindside...Or if a Kid like Martin falls into the 2nd, he still may very well be a good LT in time... Thanks for that research btw...

I'm not a big Reiff, or DeCastro (for The Bills specifically) Fan...I would not be very happy if we took either of them...

Irrelevant? Have you not heard about Jenkins? I'm not just talking about the stuff that ran him from Fla...I'm talking about the day to day stuff people like Mike Lombardi are hearing from Scouts and Pro Personnel guys...Because the name they were using to compare Jenkins to the other night on The NFL Network, as far as off-the-field problems and red-flags coming into the Draft, was none other than Pac Man Jones...The feeling among some is that Jenkins keeps a bad crowd, and he does not really seem to care much who knows about it...So...Pass...
